When Donald Trump celebrated his big win in the Nevada caucuses he dropped one of his most memorable lines thus far: 'I love the poorly educated,' he declared, ticking off the various demographic groups he had won in the state.

But those voters – ones who are predominantly white – could reshuffle the battleground state map in ways the country hasn't seen in decades, some experts predict.

Working class white voters have been trending more and more Republican in the last few cycles, but Trump could grab even more away from the Democrats in states like New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Politico reported.

Donald Trump, who is leading the delegate count for the Republican party, could bring white working class voters and 'poorly educated' voters into his hold - potentially shifting the battleground map

Donald Trump, aided by working class voters, could bring Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Wisconsin into the GOP fold and help Republicans win Ohio - but states like Georgia and Arizona could slip away

Donald Trump could potentially lose states like Georgia and Arizona to Hillary Clinton as he's upset Hispanic voters by his rhetoric and she's used the Latino vote to win states against Democratic rival Bernie Sanders

Ohio is traditionally a battleground state and often the biggest barometer on election night of which way the race will tilt, but Pennsylvania and Wisconsin have been reliably blue over the past few election cycles.

Democrats counter that Trump has done enough damage to his reputation among Hispanic voters – calling Mexican immigrants 'rapists' right out of the gate – that states like Georgia and Arizona could be in play.

President Obama's two elections already made some headway in the South with Virginia going to the Democrats the last two election cycles and North Carolina flipping to the Democrats in 2008, and then returning to the GOP column in 2012.

Out West, Obama also flipped New Mexico, Nevada and Colorado, all of which had voted for George W. Bush. Democrats hope to build on this by snagging Arizona from Republicans too, with Trump at the top of the ticket.

But since elections are won on turnout, which of the two theories will prevail?

Republicans point to two aspects of the race that are in their favor, even if Hillary Clinton is ahead in the polls, which she is in New Hampshire and Wisconsin – though, interestingly, when Clinton is matched up against Trump in Wisconsin, a new Marquette University poll shows the two neck-and-neck when just focusing on those 'poorly educated' voters.

Hillary Clinton could suddenly find herself at an advantage in some of the South and West, but then could lose traditionally Democratic strongholds in the rust belt and the Northeast

'Every single state, including Puerto Rico last night, you saw record turnout on the Republican side,' Spicer noted. 'On the Democratic side you're seeing almost in every one of them ... below 2008 levels when they last had a contest.'

Primary registration could bring those voters, especially Trump's new voters, back to the polls in November if he becomes the nominee.

Something else problematic for Clinton is that she's not the popular Democratic candidate among white voters in her own party – Bernie Sanders is – which explains why the former secretary of state had such a close race in Iowa and lost in places like New Hampshire.

Those voters could move over to Trump's column in the general election – or stay home – further endangering the Democrats in states like Pennsylvania and Ohio.

'I've been saying for months that we should never take Trump lightly and that I think he has appeal, to independents and blue-collar Democrats especially,' Rep. John Larson, D-Conn., told the Hill.

Larson formerly headed the House Democratic Caucus.

'He is stoking the fears,' Larson continued. 'He comes along and says, "I'm a deal maker, I'm about getting the deal done." And they're so fed up of seeing nothing getting done and want to see him [act] on the issues that strike to the core of their feelings.'
